A photosensitizer formulation can be disposed on or in a mesh; net; netting; screen; curtain of strands, fibers, or monofilaments; substrate, personal protective gear, mask, or any other suitable object. The photosensitizer formulation, when in contact with molecular oxygen and activated by light or ultrasound, produces microbicidal singlet oxygen. A variety of different arrangements and applications are described. For example, an air flow device may also be included to generate a flow of air through or over the photosensitizer formulation. A fluorescent formulation may be included to monitor photobleaching. The photosensitizer formulation may be disposed in a concentration gradient to generate antigenic particles by damaging or destroying microbes.

Described herein is a method of using volatile compositions to limit, decrease or eliminate a perception of fecal malodour. Such compositions include a malodour antagonist system associated with perfuming ingredients performing as malodour counteractant, in a combination that significantly reduces the perception of fecal malodour. Such compositions, methods of using the compositions in combination with delivery systems and their applications in consumer products are described herein.

A passive emanator 2 is described.

The passive emanator 2, especially for a fragrance, comprises a container 12 including a liquid composition 16 to be evaporated and emanated from the emanator via surrounding air, a porous wick 20 emerged in the liquid composition 16, and a porous membrane 18 arranged above a level of the liquid composition 16, wherein the membrane 18 is in contact with the wick 20 such that the membrane 18 is saturated with the liquid composition 16 via the wick 20 and an outer surface of the membrane 18 is in contact with the surrounding air. The liquid composition 16 includes a first solvent (especially DMM), a second solvent (especially DPM) and a fragrance or an insect repellent. The DMM and DPM are present in the liquid composition 16 at a weight ratio between 1:5 and 1:7, preferably 1:6, and most preferably 1:6.4.

Disclosed herein is a fragrance composition comprising an organic aerogel; and a non-edible active fragrance compound; where the organic aerogel comprises a biopolymer or a synthetically derived organic polymer; where the organic aerogel does not contain any inorganic aerogels and wherein the organic aerogels are not blended with or dispersed in hydrogels, inorganic aerogels or with non-aerogel polymers.

A treated vapor permeable microporous membrane includes: a microporous membrane having a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The membrane includes a thermoplastic organic polymer having a polyolefin. The membrane defines a network of interconnecting pores communicating substantially throughout the membrane. The treated membrane further includes finely divided, particulate filler distributed throughout the membrane and a first hydrophobic/oleophobic material over at least a portion of the first side. A method of preparing the treated vapor permeable microporous membrane is also disclosed.

A fragrance sheet includes a film agent, a humectant, and a fragrance. The fragrance sheet is substantially water soluble. The fragrance sheet is included in an envelope having permanent seal on a top surface thereof. A resealable zipper closure is disposed below the permanent seal. The envelope is opened and one of the fragrance sheets is removed from the envelope. The removed fragrance sheet is disposed into a vessel of water. The fragrance sheet is dissolved within the water to release a plurality of fragrance particles. A surface of the water is coated with the plurality of fragrance particles.

A method for imparting a stimulating effect to a non-ingestible consumer product includes adding a fragrance composition to the consumer product. The consumer product is selected from a household product, a laundry product, a personal care product and a cosmetic product. The fragrance composition contains from about 0.2 wt % to less than 10 wt % of isopulegol, based on the total weight of the fragrance composition.

The present invention relates to malodor reduction compositions and methods of making and using same. The malodor reduction compositions are suitable for use in a variety of applications, including use in consumer products, for example, air freshening compositions, laundry detergents, fabric enhancers, surface cleaners, beauty care products, dish care products, diapers, feminine protection articles, and plastic films for garbage bags. Such malodor control technologies do not unduly interfere with the scent of the perfumed or unperfumed situs that is treated with the malodor control technology.

A heat and aromatherapy bag that provides consumers with a reliable way to deliver constant, slow, dissipating heat with an infusion of essential oils. The heat and aromatherapy bag includes a repurposed sack having a front facing and an interior, a functional indicia disposed on the front facing of the repurposed sack, a plurality of rice contained within the interior of the repurposed sack and a VELCRO fastener disposed on each side of a neck opening disposed on top of the repurposed feed sack. The repurposed sack is a repurposed antique feed sack to provide an aesthetic rustic appearance and the functional indicia indicate one of several different intangible assets that someone might be interested in cultivating or possessing. The heat and aromatherapy bag also includes a method for utilizing a heat and aromatherapy bag.

The present invention aims a new fragrance composition comprising a fragrance compound and a solvent or carrier, wherein at least 10% by weight based on the total weight of solvent and carrier of the fragrance composition is one or more specific low vapor pressure volatile organic compound (VOC). The new fragrance composition is particularly well adapted to air care devices like wicking or electrical systems (plug-in, reed diffusers . . . ).
